As the world changes with the tectonic shift,

I can’t help but wonder what, if anything, will remain after the drift.

Here in my city over the past year,

Small black birds have all but disappeared.

Replaced with large black noisy crows,

Why, no one knows.

Coincidence or sixth sense?

Then there is the rest of the world,

Where we see more unfold.

Birds are falling out of the sky,

Millions of fish die.

Oarfish and whales beach themselves before a quake,

That’s enough to make one shake.

Pufferfish and penguins are now washing a shore,

Hmm, what is at the core?

Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, let’s not forget ice melting,

Global warming or God’s warning?
